We had a STUPENDOUS time with 2 beautiful families--
One family donated a "Dinner with the Sisters" to our FUN Raiser
and another family bought it. May God bless both families
in abundant, amazing, and surprising ways!

St. Joseph's Elementary School in Amarillo had a
Spring Festival last month. The children recited poetry by
Fr. Joe Kempf. We had a great time there as always.

During this time of the Texas Panhandle that is over run with
millers, it was refreshing the other day when a beautiful little butterfly
(or something similar?) was perched on one of our gates.
God's creation is so beautiful. Don't forget to smell the roses,
be amazed at the details of a butterfly, or to enjoy the song of a bird.

Just a reminder -- God is in control.
He is taking care of everything,
and if there is suffering involved, He is there to walk with us in it.
